Compared to Kredit Rudd, Abbott is a shining beacon of competence.

As usual KRudd is promising everything to everyone, and as usual is making policy on the run. Kredit Rudd having promised to support the car industry has just torpedoed it with the levy on company cars, who proportionally are the largest buyers of Australian made cars.

What brought both Rudd and Turnbull down as party leaders was their obsession with the anthropogenic global warming story.

But meanwhile those corporations (increasingly foreign like News Ltd and the mining companies), that own the Liberal Party regarded post-Howard Labor as not a legitimate party of government, and as an impediment to their goals. Inventing endless “leaks” to stir up reader pressure for displacing the leader was part of their presentation of Labor as temporary and illegitimate. You could even see it in their vocabulary. In supposedly straight news reports, the Government didn’t do this or that, Labor (i.e. the usurpers) did it.

During the Rudd-Gillard period the Global Financial Heist was launched and governments in country after country meekly helped shovel the people’s wealth into the raiders’ coffers until their populations faced poverty and despair. Australia was an exception. The exception was the Rudd-Gillard tandem government. It franticly plugged the outflow and kept us afloat. Yes there were fumbles (though the pink batts bungling arose from our outdated federal structure, with states handling the rollout). But basically, while supine governments abroad chose (and are still choosing) mass impoverishment the Australian government swung into nation-building. The wealth-takers are fairly slavering to get back to slaking their insatiable greed for untrammelled grabbing power, the good old Work Choices days, the days when the Liberals could even lie us into war. They want their poster boy, Tony Abbot, in office and getting on with it without another week’s delay

Will abbott see the distance His popularity is dismal against Turnbull.
With abbott losing ground it may be best for a change before it gets too late.

Abbott will make a better PM than Rudd any day. I would advise him though to rid himself of all ALP appointed heads of Departments & senior Uselessers (Bureaucrats) if he wants to take this country out of the quicksand.

The problem is individual is that people are looking at places like QLD and seeing what the conservatives are doing and thinking is Abbott capable of the same?

Take the UK where Cameron's lot have just sold off the nations blood supply to Bain Capital. You remember them, Romney's mob.

People are really getting wary of Abbott beating up the supposedly dire state of the economy so he gives himself licence to do things such as the above.

That is why the big privatisation push of public hospitals in Queensland is more than likely going to hand Rudd the State and possibly the election, especially as it is being overseen by Costello, a past Abbott compatriot.

csteele,
Yep, I'd agree with that. Rather than just going in with their policies the're more occupied by trying to win ALP voters over. What they need to do is to change the inefficiency at once by getting rid of the ALP component in higher ranks & presto we'll have a Government that can do things.
I hope that both ALP & Coalition supporters have learnt from the Labor years & move on accordingly. Abbott won't have any other chance than to perform reasonably well. Teach politics in school & we'll become a better society in no time once the young comprehend tho folly of Socialism & no reward for effort.

Plagiarised this from the net.

Remember,there IS a test coming up.The next election.

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:

1. You can not legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.
